Baton Rouge, La. --

When people in government or public policy talk about sunshine, they're usually not referring to the weather, but the idea of government transparency and accountability. The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana invites the media, public officials and all citizens to recognize Sunshine Week, the nationally observed occasion to raise awareness about the importance of public access to government information and activities. Sunshine Week in 2018 is March 11 - 17.
Throughout the week, PAR will release daily episodes of recommendations and public pronouncements. We will identify resources and opportunities for promoting bright sunshine on government records, officials and events.
